RIDING HABIT Application filed January 27, 1931.

This invention relates to improvements in garments of rousers varietysuch as used for riding, hiking, golf, etc., for men, women and forchildren, but more particularly for womens apparel.

One of the main objects of this invention is to provide a simple,efficient garment so constrained in use as to permit the rear seatportion thereof to be folded back upon itself to open position therebygiving access to the undergarments of the wearer, without changing theposition of the front part of the trousers or of the position of thebelt,a condition which entirely eliminates the so-called panty waistsfor children.

A further object thereof is to provide a trousers garment with integralmeans, located a: the rear upper portion thereof, and designed to allowthe seat portion thereof to be pulled down to open or drop positionwhilst the front part of the garment is propcrly draped or supportedaround the figure of the wearer.

Another object of this invention is to provide, in a trousers garment, aquickly attachable and detachable drop seat, characterized by thefeature of instant disengagement from the adjacent parts of the garmentand by the simple mann r of disconnecting it from the belt that ma f beworn about the waist line or the garment without sagging.

further object of the present invenprovide a novel trouser garment b foruse females whereby, when casion arises for making way for exposing theposterior parts of the an ato y, it will not as at present required, tolet 're upper part of the garment,

r t that the contents of the 00k cts the garment may fall out and witthe er inconvenience of having to detach and ttach the usual beltgirdling the waist line of the garment.

Another purpose is to provide a trousers arment for women which, whileallowing 1 e front upper part to remain belted around he figure, willpermit the quick detachment the rear seat thereby affording the sameect, when it is necessary to expose the poserior part of the anatomyfrom inside the Serial No. 511,505.

garment, as would be the case were the entire upper part of the garmentlet down.

In carrying out the details of making the present garment, a trousers isprovided of proper shape, drape, and disposition about 55 i the personof the wearer, with the added convenience of a detachable rear seatwhose upper edge and opposing edges are quickly connected to ordisconnected from the adjacent parts of the garment, without disturbingthe position of the usual belt employed to secure the figure of thewearer.

With the above and other objects in View my invention consists in thecombination, and details of construction disclosed in the drawing andspecification, and then more particularly pointed out in the appendedclaim.

In the drawing, wherein similar reference characters designate similarparts throughout the respective views,

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a trousers showing the belt mountedthereupon, and showing also the quickly operable connector between dropseat and adjacent parts of the garment. a

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the parts of the garment,

Figure 3 is a rear elevation of the garment with attached belt,

Figure 4 is a rear elevation of the garment showing the drop seat inopen position.

It is well known that when trousers are worn by females no provision ismade in the garment, when nature calls, to uncover just so much of thewaist line or adjacent parts of the knickers as will lead to the desiredaction without the necessity of letting down the entire upper part ofthe garment. The present invention overcomes this shortcoming byproviding a drop seatwhich alone need be detached from the garment whenit is necessary to expose the parts of the anatomy, and which does notinterfere with the belted method of maintaining the waist line of thegarment about the hips of the wearer of the garment.

The trousers shown is designated broadly 10 having the usual legportions 11. 16 designates the drop seat, the outer portion of which isdesignated 24. The opposing lateral edges of the drop seat carry theconventional 100 clasp elements 14 in a longitudinal line, While the adjacentedgesof the garment, along the hip seams of the garment, also carrythe interengageable clasp elements 13, the usual make and breakconnectors 15 engaging both sets of V clasp elements, in a manner Wellunderstood by those skilled in the art, for the purpose of quicklyattaching or detaching the dropseat- 16 to orfrom the adjacent parts oredges of the garment. The upper edge 17 ofthe drop seat l6 isalsodetached from the rear upper ,7 part of the garment. vVhenthe dropseat is detached along its opposing lateral edge sand upper edge of thegarment itrcan be pulled down to the position shown in Figure 4. 1

- When the clasp elements 13 and l l arcin terengaged along the hipseams .of the gar:

mentthen thefdrop seat isclosed atthe rear I of the garmentas shown inFigure 3. A belt ,1

The terminal 22 of the beltpasses through and is releasably attached tothe usual buckle 21, Whose tongue projects ladjustably' through any ofthe usual holes formed in the belt, 12 designates the'us'ual pockets ofthe q garment. -Hooks 1-8 -are ,carried upon the I 3 seat 16, in such amannerthat their bills are outer face ofithe upper edge 17 ofthe dropspaced out of contact with the drop seat providing guides for the rearportion 190; of the. belt as shoWnin'Figure So it Willbe seen that inaddition to supporting or retaining the front portion ofthe belt'atthefrontr'of the a Waist line of thegarment, againstsagging,'the
